One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Imogene struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
